A strange amount of sites have been popping up lately using photon

Jesus Christ man how do devs not even try to hide AI usage anymore. From the thumbnail alone of this article, I zoom in, and I can immediately tell it’s Gemini that made this UI. Literally the cut-and-paste style it uses. It’s getting ridiculous

It’s also an entirely AI generated UI.

Probably an image getting loaded from that URL. lemmy.blahaj.zone does not proxy images afaik

You probably don’t have to worry about it, I checked the website and it’s a free file hosting website (some ppl probably uploaded their malware at one point, which is why it’s flagged)

fun game and fun data but the entire site is ai generated, i think you should disclose that

right, I just used window.location. I’ll fix this and also make it so that phtn.app links open in the app.

I never knew it was even possible to do line breaks in markdown any other way than double newline. Photon uses marked to parse markdown, I might just need to enable something in there.

I was about to explain why I probably wouldn’t “fix” this, but I came up with a solution while explaining the problem lol. This’ll be fixed with the next major release

I can take it off your hands if you wanna clear up some space in your basement 😃

Sure, I’ll add that. The share button on posts does already include “origin server” and “your server” buttons, though I need to add this to comments.

The only web client that doesn’t use JavaScript is mlmym. the modern slopware on the web where websites pump 5 MB of scripts straight to your browser is insanity, but JavaScript can also make websites much much nicer to use (routers that don’t require full page reload).

Photon’s Lemmy V1 compatibility is actually pretty much complete with a lot of technical improvements as well, I’m kinda hoping the Lemmy devs release Lemmy v1 soon as I don’t really want to make a lemmy v0.x adapter

it’s not my job to moderate the fediverse, you won’t need to worry about seeing any of this in photon

It’s a 50/50 whether it lets me view it or not

They really need to add a way to view mod removed posts

it actually isnt intentional that it works fine, it’s some miracle of how i split the instance name and the username in markup. i was a little disappointed that nothing funny happened when i added that initially

There’s probably some restrictions because I tried making an instance that had a user with a completely empty username and it didn’t federate.

that mentality is one reason websites spam JavaScript today, because native features of the markup language were being added too slow

i do remember doing that a long time ago
